Thanks a Bunch Charles! First rate track day. It was my first time to TWS. Very challenging and fun setup. The roval setup makes it a very very fast track. I don't remember another track where Inspent soo much time in 3rd/4th/5th gear. Coming off the oval at 150+ was thrilling. TWS feels faster overall than both COTA and Road America. The bowl in T7 and the chicane leading onto the oval were my favorite parts.
Thanks again Charles. Well done!

Guys if you liked the track I would apreciate it if you started a new thread over on the racers thread posting video and your thoughts about the track. We are always building the Club Race and that's a good place to get people interested. Had a great time meeting everyone and please dropy by Garage 4 anytime this weekend. If you need air or a place to look at your car under light it's yours.

Jenks is such a beautiful man, I couldn't take my eyes off of him so I followed him into the dirt! He threw a large rock into my windshield as a memoir of our off-track excursion. Bastard.

Haha, found the limit and went past it a bit. Made a nice save only to find out in the paddock that I spit a rock at Kay's windshield

Charles, thanks big time for setting this up. TWS is truly a hidden gem and a track that I have to run anytime I come back to Texas

Had a great time at TWS! Thank you so much, Charles (V), for your hospitality in setting this up and even volunteering to pick up lunch when your car wasn't even there! That is a man of the highest honor.

Took all day to troubleshoot car gremlins, also realized that coming from a Civic, speeds and lines are quite a bit different in this particular S2000.

Thanks also to the track owner who was enthusiastic and supportive. Would definitely go back!

Hey if your screen name has rocks in the title what can you expect. It does suck though to get hit windscreen

Fun track, would definently run there again.

If I had known you guys wanted to be throwing rocks, I could have been shown you how to do it right!

I love going CW at TWS coming into 15! That track's a hoot regardless of the direction you're going.

I'm glad we got to have some 'feriners' come by and check it out.
